Abstract

Middle ear adenomas are rare epithelial tumours. Reports indicate that neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumours may also occur at this site, often in association with an adenomatous component. The clinico-pathological findings (including C.T. scan appearances) of such a ‘mixed’ neoplasm are presented together with a brief review of the few previously described cases. The importance of immuno-histochemistry and electron microscopy for accurate pathological diagnosis of these neoplasms is confirmed.
